Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Nearly all our pets’ nails are growing longer than in the past. In fact, you could say that thanks to social media and super models, ours have been outgrowing our fingernails too, according to the folks at National Geographic.

But don’t fret — there’s something you can do to keep your pooch’s nails trimmed, creating a fashionable end that also shows off the felines’ petite digits!

“Trimming your pet’s nails can shorten them to perfection,” Dawn Davis, senior manager at DogVacay, told The Huffington Post. “Nails often grow into soft areas of the fingers, so depending on the length of your pet’s nails it’s easy to ‘trim’ them for a fashionable look.”

Whether you groom yourself, that great aunt you meet at the holidays or just a friend who lucks upon an unruly mop of manes and tails, it’s best to make your cuticle cream of your own.

“This is a wonder of modern medicine,” said Davis. “It’s full of antioxidants, hormones and growth agents, as well as ingredients that promote elasticity of the skin.”

To make your own, soak the cuticle oil in water and use a pet shampoo to coat the cuticle. “Your pet will feel much better about himself after using this essential,” said Davis.
